May 29, 2014

Independent political journalist Ari Paul explains how the far right won in European Parliamentary last week, the different factions of the far right, the criminal organization of Greece’s Golden Dawn, the collapse of the center-left, why austerity drives far right politics and hope in Syriza’s victory in Greece.

On The Fun Half: thank you  John McCain for giving us Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin, Mitch McConnell’s healthcare lie, Edward Snowden’s NBC interview and John Kerry’s absurd response, the horrifying misogyny of Stefan Molyneux and your calls and IMs.
